• Reacts in contact with water by crystallization
• Does not shrink and crack after curing
• Can be applied on a wet substrates
• Forms micro porous coating which allows breathing of the substrate
• Can be applied both indoors and outdoors.
• Resists both high positive (Hydrostatic) water pressure (e.g. Swimming Pool)
  and high negative (Underground) water pressure (e.g. Basement).
• Non-toxic, non-dangerous and odourless.
• It acts by perfectly plugging pores in masonry.
• Approved for use in drinking water tanks, reservoirs.
• It has very good resistance to aggressive, non-mineralised water.
• Can be covered by renderings, micro-porous paints and tiles (do not use paints with a closed film, e.g. enamel paints.
• Can be applied on wet supports, Use the humidity of the support to key into
  in to the support.

Usage

• TECHFORCE is used as a protective, waterproofing system in buildings (Super structures and Substructures).
  For sealing under positive water pressure
  
• Drinking water reservoirs, water tanks- Pits of all kinds
• Agricultural silos  
• Swimming pools
• Sea water pools
  
  For sealing under negative water pressure
  
• Cellars, basements
• Parking areas
• Lift Shafts
• Garage grease pits
• Galleries, tunnels and sewers
• Below-grade walls

Direction for use

Surface Preparation

• Surface preparation is the most important step before application to get results and to avoid failure.
• The substrate must be clean and free of dirt, paint, grease, sludge, fungus, cement coatings, blistered and loose plasters etc.
• Moisture is necessary for the effectiveness of TECHFORCE. Therefore, wash & saturate the surface with water before applying coating, however, streaming water must be diverted by creating drains.
• For appplication on dry or hot walls, wet the walls with water thoroughly before application. Avoid application under direct sunlight.
• Do not apply in rain or if there is risk of freezing.
• Before application of TECHFORCE, seals the cracks with Polysulphide Sealant TECHSEAL RDL-940. After the application of PRIMER RDL- PRIMER RDL – 942.Tool the sealant to a uniform leveled surface

Application Method

• Apply the first coat of TECHFORCE at 1kg/sq.m. laying it on generously in
  order to plug the pores and shrinking cavities.
• After 24 hours, dampen then apply the second coat at 0.800 kg/sq.m.
• Apply a third coat in the same way, if necessary.
• Moisten or wet the surface between two coats.
• Mixed material can be applied with a small or large brush or with a trowel.
• One coat is sufficient for a good protection against dampness. 2 or 3 coats are necessary if water pressure is very high.. It wil resist a negative water pressure upto 1 kg//sq.cm.

Mixing
Pour clear water in a bucket and add TECHFORCE slowly obtaining thick creamy paste. It is advisable to mix with electrical stirrer at slow speed until a homogenous paste without lumps is obtained. The consistency of the mixture should enable a good and smooth application by brush. If necessary, the mixture can be diluted slightly by mixing 1% clean water to facilitate the smoothening of second coat.

Table of consumption depending upon water pressure

• Do not apply on dry or hot substrates or direct sunlight
• Do not apply in rain or if there is a risk of freezing, i.e. temperature lower
  than 4°C.
• TECHFORCE coating is cement based product therefore, must be used as a
  pasty cement coating and not as white wash.
• Shelf life of the unmixed material is one year from the date of manufacture.
• Store in cool and dry place
• In case of application in very hot or windy weather, plan to dampen the TECHFORCE during its setting to avoid drying too fast, which would cause the coating to ‘burn’.
  

Packing
5 kg & 25 kg


Note
It is recommended that this coating should be overcoated with microporous paints,which will not disturb the breathing of TECHFORCE a well as wall.
